Switching to Xtream Code

by Haveigotnewsforyou

Hi everyone, I'm hoping I can get some clarity on this. I'm new to iptv, got a subscription recently and the provider gave me a portal address to log in.

Looking through this sub, I see people recommend getting a xtream code link instead of using a stalker portal. Especially since the EPG is incomplete and that will let me use m3u4u to plug the gaps.

I reached out to my provider and was told that I can only use one format. They can switch me from mac to xtream code, but that (and I quote) "if change, the mac will not work".

It sounds like a bit of a warning to me, so before I go ahead with the switch I was hoping to get some input as to what might go wrong if I do this? I am running tivimate on a firestick and assume all I would need to do is to clear the playlist and then create a new one using the xtream login info that I'll get.

Would appreciate any insights to this.

Thanks

Yes, switch to Xtream Codes. It works better for Tivimate.

A lot of people, especially not tech people, use set top boxes specifically designed to work with stalker and MAC addresses. If you switch to xtream codes that makes those boxes (which use MAC addresses to be authenticated) useless. Since you are not using one of those boxes and are only using emulation software, there is nothing to lose since you can still use the firestick. You just change software from stbemu to tivimate.

Prime example is this post just posted in this sub. https://redd.it/ojb6ti

System that let you switch will also let you switch back. It can only have one option at a time, but it shouldnt be an issues to switch back if you decide the first option was better
